Frequently Asked Question<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some question we regularly get are answered here, perhaps we cover something here you still may have a question about.<\/p>\n

\n

How do I get a screen for my home ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of times we receive this request from Masjid members, our development team eventually had to oblige.\u00a0 Currently it is required to have a computer at home, as a result you can run the our app developed for either Windows, MacOS or Linux. Please visit our download page to get the home version of the software.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, we are developing a home version of the screen in the form of a mirror. The home screen is configurable to alert the user with an audio Azan from a selection of masjids from around the world.<\/p>\n

\n

I got a computer, can I use this instead ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do I have to buy a raspberry Pi computer to run this service. ? No, Its possible to use a regular (even a slightly older) computer or laptop to run the screen for the masjid. However thre are still many benefits of running the screen on a Pi.<\/p>\n

1) Reliable<\/strong> – This has been tested extensively in various masjid and runs without fault.<\/em>
\n2) Suitable<\/strong> – The screen software, is perfectly capable of running on other hardware, however there are elements specifically designed for the raspberry pi in mind.\u00a0<\/em>
\n3) Low Noise\/Power<\/strong> – There is no noise when running the pi and the cost of running it is extremely low. The equivalent of using a phone charger.<\/em>
\n4) Secure<\/strong> – The desktop computers are exposed to other issues that we will not support (example is updating your firewall and anti-virus programs).<\/em>
\n5) Offline Support<\/strong> – The raspberry Pi can run without an internet connection once the times have been loaded.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Alternatively, if you still feel your best or quickest route is to use your own computer, then the requirements are to run a recent version of chrome. Then please follow these instructions to configure the computer to display the screen correctly.<\/p>\n
